PM3GC5VW12-CBK

Panel Indicators, Pilot Lights

PM3GC5VW12-CBK, often referred to as "CBK", is a panel indicator, or pilot light, which is typically used in industrial settings. It functions both as an indicator that something is happening, and as an alarm system.

Function and Design

The PM3GC5VW12-CBK indicator is designed to operate on a wide range of power supplies, ranging from 12 to 24 volts. It can also be operated on AC or DC current. It is designed to operate in both continuous and momentary modes, depending on the specific application. In continuous mode, the indicator is constantly on and will indicate when a specified parameter is detected. In momentary mode, the indicator will flash when the specified parameter is detected.

The indicator is made from durable polycarbonate and is available in both flush mount and surface mount configurations. It features a rugged thermoplastic body that will withstand wear and tear and is designed to provide a long service life. The indicator is highly visible and can be seen from a distance or in difficult lighting conditions. The indicator is also designed to be water resistant and dust proof to ensure reliable operation even in harsh industrial environments.

Working Principle

The working principle of the PM3GC5VW12-CBK panel indicator is based on an optical sensor that is triggered when a source of light, such as a laser, a light beam, or a light bulb, is present. When the light source is detected, the optical sensor sends an electrical signal to the indicator which then activates the indicator. The indicator will remain active until the source of light is no longer present or until the power supply is disconnected.

Applications

The PM3GC5VW12-CBK panel indicator is commonly used in industrial settings, such as manufacturing plants, warehouses, laboratories, and in the automotive and aerospace industries. It is often used as an alarm system, as a notification of a process or system anomaly, and as an indicator in visual control systems. The indicator is also used in many safety applications, such as exit signs and warning signs.

Conclusion

The PM3GC5VW12-CBK panel indicator is a reliable and durable indicator that is designed for use in industrial applications. The indicator is highly visible and can be seen from a distance or in difficult lighting conditions. It is designed to be water resistant and dust proof, and is available in both flush mount and surface mount configurations. The indicator is triggered by a light source, such as a laser, a light beam, or a light bulb, and will remain active until the source of light is no longer present or until the power is disconnected.
